INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - The Marist football team defeated Butler, 28-10, on Saturday in a Pioneer Football League (PFL) game at Butler Bowl. Senior quarterback Tommy Reilly (Marlton, N.J.) completed 21 of 24 passes for 270 yards and two touchdowns. Defensively, senior cornerback Jaquan Bryant (St. Albans, N.Y.) intercepted two passes, and junior defensive end Terrence Fede (Nyack, N.Y.) had one-and-a-half sacks.

After Marist's first drive ended with an interception, Butler's David Lang kicked a 28-yard field goal to give the Bulldogs a 3-0 lead just 2:50 into the game. The Red Foxes answered with a 12-play, 76-yard drive which culminated in a 29-yard touchdown pass from Reilly to junior tight end Anthony Calcagni (Thornwood, N.Y.). The Red Foxes would not relinquish the lead the rest of the way.

Bryant's first interception of the game ended Butler's ensuing drive. The Red Foxes then marched 68 yards on nine plays and scored on a one-yard plunge by senior running back Matt Gray (Hillsdale, N.J.). With just 31 seconds left in the half, Marist took a 21-3 lead following a four-yard touchdown pass from Reilly to senior wide receiver Byron Gardner (Victorville, Calif.), which capped a 95-yard, eight-play drive. The key play of the drive was a 65-yard completion from Reilly to Calcagni.

The Red Foxes' final score came with 2:49 left in the third quarter on a one-yard run by sophomore running back Atiq Lucas (Coram, N.Y.) to give them a 28-3 lead. With 3:53 to play, Butler scored the final touchdown on a 29-yard pass from Wade Markley to Jeff Larsen.

Senior linebacker Ryan Cronan (Hampton, N.H.) led the Red Foxes with nine tackles. As a team, Marist had six stops for losses in the game, including two-and-a-half by Fede. Offensively, Calcagni had a team-high 130 yards receiving on five catches. Three Marist receivers - Calcagni, Gardner, and senior Kevin Fitzpatrick (Columbia, Md.) - had a team-best five receptions. The Red Foxes ran for 148 yards, and freshman Emmanuel Onakoya (Waldorf, Md.) led a balanced attack with 47 yards on 14 carries.
